Manchester City fought back from behind to defeat Everton and progress to the 2016 Capital One Cup Final, and the City players took to social media to express their delight!

Everton held a 3-1 aggregate lead at one point in the tie but City staged a fantastic comeback to win 4-3, and defender Nicolas Otamendi tweeted an image of the City celebrations, as he looks ahead to his first Final in English football.

The crucial goal came from a reliable source - Sergio Aguero - and the Argentine striker relived the moment that sent City to Wembley on his Instagram account, which can be viewed by clicking here.

Aguero's international compatriot Pablo Zabaleta paid tribute to the Manchester City faithful, who will head back to Wembley to see if the club can lift the trophy for the fourth time in their history.

We're going back to Wembley for another final. Thanks to all the Man City fans for the incredible support tonight, you were amazing! @MCFC

Francis Lee, a club legend who played for City during the first of their League Cup triumphs, was proud of the performance, and it seems a rather famous fan is looking forward to a trip to the national stadium too...
